Step by step
Step 1. Prep and preheat your pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep a 8×8 or a 9×9 pan by lining with parchment paper and spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2: Melt the butter. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter.
Step 3: Whisk all the dry ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4: Beat the butter and sugars. In a medium sized bowl, use a hand mixer on medium to mix the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 5: Add the egg and egg yolk. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk for 30 seconds and then add the vanilla extract Whisk just until combined.
Step 6: Fold in the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients, and the chocolate chips into the wet ingredients. Just mix until there are no more signs of flour. Don’t over mix.

Step 8: Bake. Bake for 25-28 minutes. Mine took exactly 25 minutes.
Expert Baking tips
- Use a high quality, light color pan. This is so important. It will ensure that you don’t burn the sides of your blondies. I got my pan here:
- Preheat your oven for 30 minutes before you start baking. This will ensure that your oven is up to temp.
- Spoon and level your flour to get a more accurate measurement.
FAQ
What if I don’t have a 8×8?
You can use a 9×9. If you want to use a 9×13, make sure to double the recipe.
How do you get those sharp cuts?
I use a sharp knife and I clean it after every cut. I also make sure that my dessert is cold before I cut it.
Can I turn these into cookies?
Yes, you just need to use cold, cubed butter. Use a stand sized mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to help cream the butter and sugars. Make a hole in the middle of the cookie dough ball and place the Nutella in the hole.

I will assume the cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg should be added with other dry ingredients.
